Frank Wells, Masterfonics, Nashville, TN:
"We heard about the UFC-24 from OTARI when it was first coming out and it met a need that had been in the market for a long time. All of these digital formats are 16-bit and are all storing the same words at the same sampling rates but you couldn't get information from one of them to the other one without going out into the analog world. Now the UFC-24 is able to address the pro formats (PD and DASH), plus the ADAT and DA-88 that many producers are using to work in home studios. It seems to meet all those needs in one relatively inexpensive box. Being able to re-route channels in the box is also a big plus. We use the phrase 'digital everything -- all at once' around here...and this box applies that on a multi-track 'digital everywhere -- from anywhere' basis. That sums it up pretty well."
Rudy Van Gelder, Rudy Van Gelder Studio, NJ:
"We needed the capability of transferring digitally between PCM-3324 (DASH) to PCM-800 (DA-88 format) and I wanted to transfer 24 tracks digitally. The UFC-24 is very stable, very reliable and it performs what it's supposed to do perfectly. The additional thing about it that I like is the routing flexibility within the unit. This is a feature that I wasn't originally aware of, but I use it all the time...I'm really pleased with the UFC-24."
